A strong bond, circle of friends we were
We remained a concord against the odds
We shared one's cup of joy and ocean of disgrace,
Wiped the tears away with mirth and joy.

When one of us was almost at the edge of life
Or was grieving, no space for hope and light
We did understand and gave attention,
Opened our arms, so one could bravely fight.

A midst troubles caused by bitter tongues
No one dared to leave and break the bond
We rather sought ways to bridge the gaps,
And weaved back the ruined web of harmony.

Out of confessions we disclosed
We've come to behold our hearts' dark spots
With which we purged by shimmers to ponder
Thus, allowing the flow to continue its course -
The flow of the youthful streams of friendship.

Great distances would soon divide our ways
For we ought to traverse where our fate is.
Before this happens, I beg you my dear friends
Promise me to keep the friendship in your hearts,
In its deepest chambers, sealed with the warmth of love
'Till eternity holds us fast - still foursome -
Like the inseparable stars of Pegasus!
